and folly Of such an undertaking. but
the desire Of joining our brother exiles

her finger at some invisible object. In
shrill and piercing accents Of agony and
despair she would cry out! mother, mot

1T is THEIR TURN.
Nicholson & Naber Discuss the Da
kota Veterinary Law.

To the Editor of the Globe.
In the issue of the GLOBE of Dec. 5
we find communication from Hon. l..
X. Church, governor of Dakota Terri
tory. And we would respectfully ask
that we be allowed so much of your val
liable space as is necessary to give our
construction of the veterinary law. so
called by the governor, and our version
of the unsolicited controversy, on our
part, precipitated by him.
The law referred to by the governor
is, "An act TO suppress and prevent the
spread of contagious or infectious dis
eases among domestic animals" which
empowers the governor to appoint ter
ritOrial veterinary surgeon who may
appoint deputies with the approval of
the governor. 1t is the duty of the ter
ritorial veterinarian or his deputies TO
make an examination of cattle, horses
and mules where it is suspected that a
contagious disease exists, and if they
find that such disease exists they are
empowered to quarantine the premises
or locality and destroy the diseased ami
mails and animals that have been ex-
posed to the same to prevent the further
spread of the disease, and certify their
action TO the governor, whose duty it is
" cAfiulllC liltO IilC lliCllto vi lliC ColoC,
and if it comes within the requirements
of the statute, to direct that the stated
amount be payed for the animal de-
stroyed.
Section 5 prescribes the manner in
which the veterinarian shall proceed,
viz: If he finds it necessary to destroy
an animal that is diseased. he shall go
before the nearest justice of the peace
who shall appoint three appraisers
whose duty it is TO appraise the value of
the animal to be destroyed, and make
return of their actions to said justice of
the peace; these returns with the action
of the veterinarian are TO be forwarded
to the governor for his action and APP
prevail as above stated. And we MAIN
tain that these appraisers must be APP
pointed in every instance. If the ami
nal to be destroyed has been exposed
only to diseased animals and is not itself
diseased, before destroying the same,
the veterinarian is required to call in two
respectable veterinarians or physicians,
or freeholders who shall certify that

McHenry County.

TowNER, Nov. %. - Thinking that
perhaps a limited description of this
country might be of interest to your
many readers l herein take the liberty
of pointing out some of its many ad-
YantageS.
TOwner, the county seat of McHenry
county, is situated on the st. Paul, Min

west of Grand Forks, at what is known
as the first crossing of the Mouse river
1t is scarcely one year old; contains
a population at the present time of
about 800; is substantially built, and
the different commercial interests are
fully represented by good substantial
business men who have come to stay
and who have the welfare of the city at
heart. The country tributary thereto is
as fine as any under the sun. The

BILE of producing the finest vegetables
and more to the acre than any other
country in America. The average
yield of wheat in this vicinity for this
season was about twenty-five bushels
per acre, No. hard.
Aside from its many advantages as a
farming country, it possesses in a
marked degree all the essentials of
fine grazing country, and right here let
me say that there are some of the finest
bred cattle i'll the world here. A visit
to some of the stock ranches here would
be a treat to all lovers of fine stock.
There are surely few places where gov
eminent land is to be had that offers
greater inducements to those seeking
homes for themselves in the West than
this same Mouse river valley.
There are any amount of fine claims
that can he had here from three to five
miles from this place by simply living
on and improving them as required by
the law.
To those who are living on rented
farms in the East, and just barely man
aging to exist from year to year, what
great possibilities this country offers,
where in few years the farmer tenant
will be the pOSsessor of fine farm,
and surroundings and all the comforts
of life, and at least a portion of the
luxurieS.
With this prospect before you why
will you stick to the rented farm and
spend the best years of your life in just
simply making a living. Take the adj
vice of the late Horace Greedy, go

BufOrd County.

WIIIIsToN, Dee. This is new
town of about sixty inhabitants, started
about six months ago. 1t is situated on
the right bank of the Missouri river.
bOrdered by the fine stream called the
Muddy. low, fiat prairie land adjoin-
ing for distance of twenty miles, a
mile on each side of the stream, occupied
only by two old settlers who plowed
about forty acres of land last fall in an
ticipatiOn of the Minneapolis d Mani
toba railroad passing through their
farm. and then dispose of their products.
81, 900 Oh potatoes alone. and, unlike the
Eastern farmer who plows his soil and
then sOws his seed, they put their seed
simply on the sod.
These facts are enough to convince
people simply, like old Horace Greedy
once said, young men, go West" l
would add, and more especially ''gO to
a new country" where you can raise
anything produced OIL the face of the
earth. where you can have a home and
a good market for your products.
The great advantage for new begin
ners to come to this country is in having
a knowledge of farming, and raising
some stock in connection with it. There
is no way-Of expressing the amount of
hay that is on the prairie without the
necessary hands to cut it. This part of
the country was occupied mainly by In
dams up to few years ago, and, since
then, the white settlers were emigrat-
ing slowly for the want of a cOmmuni-
cation with the world at large. Since
the Minneapolis d. Manitoba railroad
passes through l. from my own knOwl-
edge, count more than seventy-five set
tiers in the surrounding country tribu-
tary to this town, which is to-day the
division headquarters. will be the
county seat. and, in all probability, will
have United States land office.
The great advantages are these, that
everybody finds plenty of good timber
to build his house and barn. without a
single copper of expense. He has suf-
ficient springs of the finest kind of
water wherever he desires to locate.
All the game. such as antelope, deer,
wild geese and ducks are here, to fur
nish the finest of DelmOnico'S repaStS.
In fact, lived in Brooklyn city for sew
enteen years, and never could dream of
any such realization as to live in a
good town without being harassed
about rent. taxes, gas bills and various
other impoSitiOnS to break a good-think-
ing fellows nights rest.
| close this misSive hoping it will be
read, as it is intended simply for the
good of those that lend an attentive ear.

PULLING TOGETHER.
Dakota Farmers Working To-
gether for Their Own Interests.

gether for Their Own Interests.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, Oak, Dec. 9.-No two men
in Dakota are working harder than are
President II. L. LouckS and Secretary
c. a. SOderberg, of the Dakota Farm
ers' alliance, for the success of the an
nual meeting to be held here, beginning
Dec. Is and continuing four days.
President LouckS has sent circulars
to alliances and farmers generally urg-
ing them to be present or have one or
more representatives at the meeting.
He says not to send prOSy, indifferent
sort of men, but men who know the
needs of the farmer and are Interested
in matters pertaining to the welfare of
the farming portion of DakOta's people.
By his appeal the attendance will be
greater than at any former meeting of the
organization. Heretofore the representa-
tives from North Dakota have not been
great, but the tillerS of the soil in that
section are quite alive on the subjects
that will be discussed at the annual
meeting. and will come to confer and
cooperate with their Southern breth-
rem, and by generous expression of
opinion and interchange of views an
immense amount of benefit can be de-
rived from the meetings.
Mr.. SOderbeTg was in the city day
or two since making arrangements with
the prOprietOrS of HurOn'S hotels for a
reduction of rates, and succeeded in SO
doing. He thought that from 80 10 200
people would be present.
The committee of legal advisers TO
whom will be referred certain bills
that will be considered and acted upon
by the alliance, is Hon. +. c. EricSen,
OF Elk Point. on revenue bills; Judge
5. j. COnklin, of WATERFOWL, on uSuTy
bills: Hon. p. J. McCumber, of Wahpe-
ton. OH railroad bills.
Judge Bangs, of Grand Forks, has
been requested to prepare a memorial
10 congress in the interest of settlers
who have lived up to the requirements
of past rulings and Interpretation of
the public land laws, but who cannot
comply with the rigid requirements Of
the late Commissioner Sparks.
Besides the above, it is quite likely
that farmers insurance company will
be organized and put in shape for the
immediate beginning of business.
1t is suggested that all who come to
the meeting be particular to secure
from the railroad agent where tickets
are bought his certificate that full fare
was paid going. so that a return ticket
can be secured for One-fifth the regular
fare.
Following is the programme as far as
arranged.

such action is necessary, and then the
veterinarian proceeds as above. The
case is now properly before the gov
ernor, and if it does not come within
any of the exceptions it is the duty of
the governor to direct that the claim be
allowed.
We also read the statute to mean by
the requirement of any one having in
his possession an animal supposed to be
diseased to report the same to the veter-
marian, and that as an inducement to
thus aid in the suppression of the dis
ease, he shall be compensated for the
animal thus destroyed, otherwise self
interest would enjoin secrecy.
The case that has so Derturbed the
governor and caused the issuing of the
letter referred to as he plus ultra, is
case where mule was destroyed by one
Charles Z. Mum, deputy territorial vet
erlnary surgeon, as being affected with
CHAMBERS. No appraisers were appointed
and no notices were served on the owner
as required by said act, but the mule was
destroyed, and few days thereafter no
tice was sent to the owner by Mum
stating that he must destroy the animal.
This was the case upon which we petit
toned the governor for redress, and his
answer is another instance where
forth mouse"
1t seems that these learned veterina-
rianS Gt is at least so in this case) have
arrOgated unto themselves the cOnStruc-
ton of the law as well as a high degree
of infallibility and have thus become "a
law unto themselves" and leave no pro-
lection to the owner of animals but the
will of very inefficient veterinary de-
partment.
In harmony with this mode of pro-
cedure is the governors construction of
the law, and he says if this is not the
proper construction of the law it is his
duty to so cOnStrue it to prevent Dakota
from becoming a paradise for diseased
animals to be brought here to be ..killed.
But if the governor will read the law
again he will find the makers of the law
have saved him that onerOuS and arbi-
trary duty by placing animals so seeking
paradise among the exceptions where
payment is not allowed. And if he had
taken the trouble to read our petition
through he would have seen that the
case in point does not come within any
of the exceptions prohibiting payment,
and he would thus have saved himself
the trouble of diScOursing upon the law
that he now looks upon to be so unjust,
and i'll this connection we might say that
1t is difficult for us to see why the gov
ernOr did not detect some of the defects
of the law before he approved the bill.
